Has anyone else picked up a new smartphone/phablet called the
OnePlus One? Mine has been shipped and is expected to arrive in the next few days. It has the same processor as the Galaxy S5, a good screen for reading and a much higher capacity for storing media (64GB) than the 16GB version of the Nexus 5 even though they're both the same price ($349).
Apparently, the
OnePlus One is becoming more available at last, and not only to those (like me) who received invites to buy it. On sites like
Oppomart, the phablet is being sold outright, and on the OnePlus forums,
invitations are being handed out with greater frequency. This is probably good, since
reviews have been almost universally positive,
positive,
positive.
Members on XDA have reported issues with yellowish screens, but I'm still anticipating my 64GB sandstone-black model with baited breasts -- excuse me, I meant bated breath. I didn't intend to suggest some new and perilous method of salmon fishing for nudists. I've also tried to distract myself by heating a slice of rodent pizza -- pardon me, I meant
frozen pizza -- but the anticipation has triggered what Rimbaud liked to call a systematic derangement of the census. I'm hoping my OPO will arrive soon and I can stop filling out questionnaires riddled with homophones and mondegreens.
